I want this so freaking badly I can taste it. But it's more than my daughter's preschool tuition. Barring that, I think I need this - though want is another thing altogether in this case:

And then, there's this:

Which goes perfectly with today's post. Baby afghans. I had a baby (my second) in April. I got the coolest freakin' handmade baby afghan EVER. To wit...
and just in case you need a closer view to "get" it...

Your daughter has a preschool "tuition"? And furthermore, if it's anywhere around $1,000 - WOW! I suppose she's going somewhere fancy, then. o:
That.
Is the most amazing afghan.
Ever.
My baby is going to have one of those, one day in the very distant future. And later on the child will ask what the symbol is, and I'll get to pull out the old DVD player (because HD is already turning into Betamax, so you know that 20-30 years from now...) and pop in the original movie, and I'll end up with a child that'll be geeked even earlier than I was. X)
Sadly, Amanda, her tuition for 2 days a week 9:30 - 2:30 was $1600. And it's just the subsidized town preschool run by our parks and rec department. The ones at churches and other commercial ones run around twice that.
And, amen!, keep the geek going!! I remember watching ST:TOS as a 5 year old. I had a nightmare about the salt vampire. Still, I was hopelessly addicted.
